Danke

Very interesting. Learned some great new information!

Einverstanden!

Etwas ganz anderes, und machesmal zutreffend für Enwanderer in die USA: Es kann vorkommen, daß die Nachkommen zu früh kommen, mit dem Einkommen der Vorkommen nicht auskommen, nach Amerika kommen, dort eventuell unterkommen, verkommen, oder umkommen.

Thank you for this! I would be interested in more content about the old Germanic languages. I find this topic fascinating!

How would you pronounce this name Sünep

You mean it’s habitual 😊❤😊

You remember I told you I was upset by a German celeb called Peter Heppner. Well it turns out that it happened to be a scam ! ❤😊 I know what to look out for now and I’m on a mission to call their own bluff ,, I don’t care if you share my experience with your subscribers, family & friends Steffen because I’m so frustrated with myself for falling in their net )) making me feel differently of this innocent man who knew nout about this 😊 Why would he,,? He’s busy touring right now 😊

German is the language of philosophy and most of great philosophers wrote their books in German. ❤

I can slightly hear a german accent but you speak mostly like an American in English lol

Ah! I almost forgot another thing I noticed. The term "portepee" appears to be a cognate of the French term "porte-epée" (carry-an-epée), which would make perfect sense if the sword you were carrying/wearing was in fact an epée, and an indication that you had special authority or responsibility. Thanks!

Thanks very much, Stephan/vielen Dank! I was in the US Army, stationed in the Rheinland-Pfalz from 1965 to 1967, and occasionally came in contact with folks from the Bundeswehr while I was there. I never had to learn what their ranks were, but I understood that they were generally equivalent to the US Army's, both being based on agreed-on NATO conventions. From your descriptions, I would have begun as Gefreiter/Funker (aiming toward a communications specialty) and left after 3 years as a "Specialist" at enlisted paygrade 4, which I guess would be something like a Hauptgefreiter? (Nach ein paar Biere waren sie überhaupt dasselbe ... ) Where are you living now? Hank Ickes, Blairstown, NJ

English used to pronounce the gh as /x/ back in the Middle English period.

Hallo Ich habe eine Frage über _gehen_ . I saw some sentences with _gehen_ that contains another verb. For example Ich gehe spazieren. Ich gehe einkaufen. Herr, does _gehen_ behaves like a modal verb? I mean we put the second verb at the end and conjugate _gehen_ ? I'd be grateful if you could help me Bis bald

Hey, next time without the fucking piano.

Thanks for the long summary of the evolution of Standard German in Deutschland. I didn't really have a clue how many tribes and dialects of the German people existed and still exist today. They are the spoken ( non standard ) dialects. The MutterSprache ( Mother tongue ) spoken as the language spoken at home, or with neighbors and friends. Very regional. I didn't really know that German people and their German dialects are so far South. Into Austria, the Tyrol, Northern Italy. Even parts of Russia and Ukraine. The Ostrogoths and the Lombards took over what is now Italy. The Visigoths took over Southwest France and all of Spain. The Burgundians took over Southeastern France. The Franks concurred Northern Franch including Paris. The concurred and subjugated all of Western Europe that we know today. Oh, I forgot to mention Switzerland. Austria and Switzerland each have their own Standard German language. German people have migrated and spread all over the world. Even to the Americas. The U.S.A. is 40% ethnic German due to immigration. Chili, Argentina, Brazil, et. al. have German immigrant populations. My feeling is, English , French, and German are all excellent languages to learn and use. At least the Standard languages. They cover all of Northwestern Europe.

Wo ist Dein Nachtpolter? Die Welt wimmelt mit Fachidioten. Mit dem Nachen auf der Bache. Kommt ein Felsen, gibt's ein krachen, und ein böses Erwachen, und dann keinen Nachen. Doch die Zuschauer haben einen Grund zum Lachen.😅 Wann ist das Schlachtfest, und bin ich eingeladen?

I would expect the cognate of “nigh” to be “nach”. A quick check of Wiktionary reveals that “nah” is indeed cognate with “nach”, which does have the expected final consonant.

Thanks for this video! I'm taking German 2 this year and your channel is very useful for learning!

Thank you for not perpetuating the American mispronunciation.

Steffen can You explain zu zu mit verb,ich verstehe nicht 🙏🤔

The common notion of "Bahn" is some kind of mostly linear "track from which the vehicle (or other 'thing') moving on it can't (or at least shouldn't) deviate" and by extension "Bahn" doesn't only refer to the track itself but also to the means of transport moving on it. Eisenbahn = railroad (~iron 'track') Seilbahn = cablecar (~rope 'track') Straßenbahn = tram (~street 'track') Autobahn = ~car 'track' Kegelbahn = bowling lane (~pin 'track')

We have some young people in Portugal also using the German R, which i hate to hear, because i use the rolled R ever since i was very young, they started to talk like that , first in Lisbon, in the 1970's to imitate the french, to sound fancy, after that it just spread, now being very popular among the younglings in the entire country I talk about young people, i m young too, i was born in 2002

Altes Deutsch ist doch recht ähnlich zum heutigen Deutsch, aber etwas nordischer

Informative as even. A "ghost train" is indeed a thing in English.

Ow do comes from the Nottinghamshire ;; it reminds me of ( Adieu ) 😊

Hi there, one question I had, especially about the NCO/Uffz ranks. What unit or subunit levels would different ranks have leadership roles at? Take the US army for example. (Note: info might not be 100% accurate. I'm not from the US. I could compare the British army, but you may not be familiar with it.) A sergeant leads a fireteam of like 5 people, a staff-sergeant leads a squad which is like 2-3 of those. A Sergeant 1st class then is the senior NCO of a platoon of like 40 people total, where a 2nd or 1st lieutenant is the actual commander. A First Sergeant then is the senior NCO of a company, of which a captain is the commanding officer. A Command Sergeant-Major then is the senior NCO of any unit of battalion size or greater. Although with the German Army this doesnt seem very clear. Even the Bundeswehr website doesn't really clarify this.

Greetings and Salutations Your Highness. Good to hear and see you again! Ah, wer kennt Heute noch diese? Schlinderbahn Schlittenbahn Rutschbahn

Hi Stephan, Thank you very much for this video, I found it most informative. Around 1984, I went to the former DDR 8 times and remember the linguistic bemusement I experienced when I saw "Deutsche Reichsbahn" on their railways. I enjoyed your video very much and learned a lot of facts that I wasn't previously aware of, so I'd describe that linguistic experience as invaluable for me. I'd say that there is a (possible) rough English equivalent to "Geisterbahn," which I'd translate a 'ghost-train,' which is usually one of the rides at at either a static or travelling funfair. However, I'm really not sure whether the ghost-train is still as popular at a funfair these days as it was when I was growing up in the late 60s - early 70s. MfG, David Wood.

Ich fahre mit die Bahn. Danke schön Dr Schaffrath. Deutsch ist eine Sprache, die Stärke bedeutet.

Thanks for your clear explanation and examples. I get the feeling that your are a teacher. I gave you a like. Ich habe dir ein Like gegeben.

Hat man dich entlassen? Lange nichts Neues gesehen. Heute früh, auf meinem Spaziergang, sah ich eine Menge Abfall überall verstreut. Das erste Wort, daß mir in den Sinn kam, war Schweinsköppe!!! Für viele Jahre nicht daran gedacht.

Ich liebe dich Deutschland ❤❤ kind land❤
